Spring Party Ideas and Decoration Ideas

Spring is a great reason to throw a party and these spring party ideas are made easy with the use of fresh flowers, bright colors, and lots of spring candies like jelly beans! There are plenty of spring party ideas to choose from for a girls night, Easter celebration, or even Mother’s Day!

I mentioned it earlier this week but things have finally warmed up enough that I feel like it’s finally spring. So this past week I invited some of my favorite girlfriends who all have kids my son’s age over for an “It’s a spring thing party.”

Or basically an excuse to play outside, put together gorgeous flower arrangements, and eat yummy spring treats.

The beauty of the generic spring party theme is that you can have one at the beginning of the season to welcome spring, have one in the middle of May when all of the blossoms are in full bloom, or even in June as a goodbye, we’ll miss you spring party!

Since it’s still the beginning of spring, I went with more of a welcome spring, we’re so happy you’re here party.

Spring Party Color Scheme

One of the first things I always do when planning parties is come up with a color scheme and some main things to focus on within the overall theme; it just helps you narrow things down when you’re shopping and putting together details.

I knew I wanted to incorporate bold/bright colors, Jelly Belly jelly beans, and flowers – all three things that remind me of spring. I incorporated all three of those things in my choices of fabric, flowers, and even desserts on the dessert table.

And in the case of the backdrop, I actually incorporated all three elements into my party backdrop by using bright colored Jelly Belly beans to spell out spring surrounded by small flowers all hot glued onto a white canvas.

I added some cute spring bird party printables to tie everything together! Party printables are a simple way to tie everything together, and I love using them for things like cake and cupcake toppers, jar labels, and even on plates and dishes. 

You could also add these printable Easter stickers to add some more cute elements!

Last but not least, I used colorful jelly beans to add a cohesive look between the dessert table, tablescape, and even in my party games.

Using the spring mix to fill vases, to top cakes, and to use for the games really just tied it all together into one very springy celebration!

Spring Party Decorations

For the actual table setup, I started off the entire thing with a table runner made of this amazing butterfly fabric with pops of color that matched the jelly beans perfectly.

I used coordinating turquoise flower fabric to make individual placemats for the table and finished off my fabrics with napkins that I made using a light yellow fabric with small white petals.

Then, I added a couple of vases full of fresh flowers because what says spring more than fresh flowers? I created a long horizontal flower arrangement and then just wrapped the glass with some bright colored ribbon.

On the sides, I added equally as gorgeous vases filled with jelly beans and a small arrangement of tulips inside each. I love how the jelly beans add a pop of color to the table that a normal vase full of water wouldn’t normally.

Spring Table Settings

For place settings, I used silver chargers topped with ceramic plates that reminded me of the color of the pink jelly beans and then topped those with white ceramic plates with small dots around the sides.

I topped each place setting off with yellow napkins held together with jelly bean napkin rings (just jelly beans glued to elastic circles I sewed together).

Instead of using regular glasses, I used mason jars with daisy cut lids and spring colored straws.

And last but not least, as place cards, I used small boxes with floral designs filled with jelly beans. I’m all about dessert first.

Spring Dessert Ideas

For the dessert table, I started with a brightly colored floral tablecloth and the spring backdrop I mentioned earlier. Then I added some height and fresh flowers by covering two foam cake forms (also known as cake dummies) with colorful fabrics and fresh flowers.

I used the extra space on the centerpiece to hold spring colored polka dot cups from full of my bunny bait Easter snack mix!

On either side of the centerpiece I setup wood boxes to add additional height on the sides. On top of the boxes, I setup a potted plant dessert garden on one side made with my Oreo dirt cups with gummy peas and carrots instead of gummy worms!

On the other side, I added my favorite spring dessert – homemade strawberry shortcake in individual trifle cups (I have this set and use it ALL the time) to make it match the rest of the table!

For the next layer, I topped two coordinating cake stands with red velvet cupcakes and a coconut cake that I bought from the grocery store. I love buying pre-made bakery items and just adding your own decorations, or in this case jelly beans, to make them match your theme.

I made flower cupcakes by adding jelly beans on top of store-bought cupcakes. Something like these Easter bunny cupcakes would be great too!

And last but not least, I added mason jars full of the jelly bean with jelly bean lollipops inside for the kids.

Spring Party Games and Activities

For our activities, I setup a small Easter egg hunt for the kids and to stick with the spring theme, I gave the kids bright pink and green strawberry baskets instead of regular Easter baskets, and we just did a normal Easter egg hunt!

Another great option would be to setup this Easter bunny hunt and give out cute brightly colored prizes for people who find the bunnies! Or if you’re doing this wiht little kids, these polka dot balloons made perfect prizes!

Then for the entire group to play together, we played a bunch of these Easter games! They’re great for families and work for any age to play together! Or if you need more Easter activities, any of these would be great!

• Easter egg games – tons of games to play with just Easter eggs!
• Easter scavenger hunt – this would be a really fun idea to do with the kids!
• Easter bingo – an Easter version of the classic bingo, or try this Easter candy bingo game instead!
• Easter deal or no deal game – this one is great for any age but especially teens and adults!
• Bunny mart – let kids earn points doing activities than turn them in to a cute bunny mart!
